That system + the HSF + an Obsidian 450D is what I've decided on. Thank you so much! Just one more question... shouldn't I get a 4GBx2 RAM instead of a single 8GB RAM?

Just 3 questions: #1: How is the cheaper obsidian series case that you didn't list? Is it any good? #2: If I have a bit of money left over, should I keep that as-is or sink a bit of money into a slightly better GPU? #3: Shouldn't I get a CPU cooler?

Basically, yeah. Here I am being ignorant and you're going to all this effort to help me, seriously, thanks.

I wasn't aware that website came in poutine flavor, I'll be sure to change that. I'll add a monitor into the budget as well, since that seems like a good idea (I'm really not very good at planning) I was posting my budget in US dollars because I figured most of the people here would be more...

Sure, I might as well ditch the first list. The reason I put maybe is because I'd like to learn a bit more about overclocking first, do you have a personal preference or suggestion? I'm going to upgrade my monitor the first chance I get, It's the first thing on my list after the computer.

I'm 17 and my mother has generously offered to help fund a gaming PC for me, but I have no idea where to start. I've done a crapton of research the last while and I have two possible setups so far, could you critique them, or help me with the setup? *EDIT: Removed the first list...
